I have a client turned business partner and he is originally a collaborator but he is also a designer and I was wondering can a collaborator have access to the designers area like the Admin can or is he stuck on the editor? If so, can there be more than 1 Admin?
Yes, for that you need a Team plan. Then you can both access all the sites you put in the team Dashboard
Hi @nate_alspaugh Happy 12,017!
You cannot access the designer tool through the CMS editor tool. We do this to keep a strict boundary between what content editors can access and what designers can access. If you want to give designer access to a business partner, then youâll need to create a team plan.
A Team plan allows multiple people to admin a single shared dashboard of projects.

Hi @PixelGeek,
Hope you are well.
I am just wondering if it is possible for my partner to be on the Team Plan and myself to stay on the Pro Plan as I donât want to lose the fact that I grandfathered over with the old hosting plans.
We both need to design as we have a lot on at the moment but I cannot afford to pay for the Pro Plan and x2 Team Plans.
Team plans are separate from your own personal accounts. Team plans provide you with âseatsâ with a shared dashboard of projects. You add personal accounts to the team, whether itâs free or pro.
Hi @samliew,
So correct me if Iâm wrong, I would have to pay for my Pro plan ($42.00), my team seat ($42.00) and a seat for my partner ($42.00)??
You would have to pay for your Pro plan, two team seats. Partner can create a free account to join the team.
A Pro Plan and two team seats is pretty damn expensive. Problem is, I have a few projects on at the moment and I need my partners help.
Iâm concerned that if I make a team account I will lose the 50% discount I have on my Pro Plan. Iâm only wanting the Team Plan for a month or so whilst we get the work done.

You wonât lose any discount if no plan changes are made.
Ok thatâs cool, thanks for clearing that up.
Just thinking about it, wouldnât I just need a team seat for myself and I can invite my partner to the team with her being on a free plan?
No, you need two seats in the team for both of you. Was I not clear enough earlier?
No no, you were perfectly clear thank you.
I just donât want to be spending $126.00 per month. I think thatâs a bit too expensive if Iâm honest.

You mentioned that the changes would only take a month.
You either need the additional flexibility that $84 buys for one month, or you perform the updates yourself.
Hi everyone, the issue I constantly get is when a client wants to invite an SEO specialist in, they require access to the âback endâ of the website. I donât want to give up the client hosting and I donât want to have a heap of costly team fees to worry about.
Any recommended solutions? It would be great if we could restrict access by folder.
Add the SEO Specialist as a collaborator on the site. Theyâll have access to all of the SEO, Open Graph, and Site Search settings for each page. This also gives them the ability to edit text directly on the site for SEO and keyword optimization.
To my knowledge the only limitation is that those settings on Collections must be set in the Designer. This is likely due to the dynamic data that is available to use in the settings. However if the collection uses a plain text field to collect the SEO description, then the specialist can adjust each items SEO in the editor that way. They just canât edit the template for the SEO without the designer.
Hope that helps.

In the same boat as well, not sure what to do. I am thinking of just having them setup a one site account and transferring the site. Extremely frustrating.
youâre right these whole site plans / account plans is all messed up, super expensive and lacks basic functionality.

I also agree this is super frustrating. Itâs important to share and collaborate on projects with other and to have to spend $45 a month per person is ridiculous. I would pay this for unlimited collaboration ability easily for all my projects.

Hi.
A Site Plan is necessary to host any CMS or E-commerce website. So a site plan, yes.
A Team Plan will allow several people to access the Designer with their own Individual Account Plan, even if itâs a free Account Plan. it starts at $70 with 2 seats and you add $35 per seat.
A team licence doesnât exist, what made you think you need an extra licence?
If you have trouble understanding the pricing, I made a page that makes it easier to compare plans, features and limitations: Understand Webflow Pricing: Sites & Accounts Plans
No. A Team Plan provides a space, dashboard, in which you can invite designers who each have an individual plan (free, lite or pro).
Yes. Youâll purchase a starter team plan at $70 with two seats: you and another one that you can invite. Then youâll add seats on demand.
